Regarding Joni's garden 9/11 painting - I looked at the painting again on the JM.com site (a very good resolution there) and the cross on the book is blue surrounded by red. This type of cross is a simplified version of the Maltese Cross. I found a couple of websites below which provide regarding it. Very interesting and arguably related in some ways to 9/11 events.
